Yesterday, Google announced the arrival of Gingerbread. After all the dancing and singing that follows a new Android release I immediately started to wonder when my LG Optimus T will get Gingerbread. Will it be next month, in six months or never? Well, if we’re to believe the official LG Facebook page, it’ll be never. Not just the Optimus T either but the… Read more

Take a look at LG’s current Android offerings. Now take a look at the “Star.” LG is about to get serious. Finally unveiled in leaked picture form today, the LG Star, or so it’s being internally called, is a monster: NVIDIA Tegra 2 1GHz dual-core processor, 8MP camera with LED flash, 1080p video capture, front facing camera, and 1500 mAh battery.

LG has officially announced 3 new Android devices ranging from nice, to wow. First up, the Optimus One. A smaller med-range device featuring Android 2.2… Read more

Not likely coming to America anytime soon? That’s what I said of LG’s LU2300 at the beginning of April, but to be fair, that model number wasn’t firmly linked to the Aloha moniker yet (still a bit shaky) and there was little information at the time about what could have been two distinct phones as far as anyone knew. Actually, there was some confusion about… Read more

Aaron from phoneDog got to handle LG’s latest Android (2.1) at the launch party in NYC. It’s not the monster many were expecting when the device was called Aloha, but it does look like it will be a nice, cheaper alternative to Incredible for Verizon customers when it launches on May 20th for $99.99 after $100 rebate on a new two-year contract.
